Energy in a state Stored energy is the energy possessed by a system. Stored energy in the system is called energy in a state. It is associated with a state. It change depends only on the end states of the process and not on the path of…
Complement of a set Let U be the universal set and let A be a set such that A ⊂ U. Then the complement of A with respect to U is denoted by A’ or Ac or U-A and is defined the set of all those elements of U which are not in A. Thus…
Ideal gases The term gas is applied to a particular phase of a pure substance which will fills the system boundary, and no change of phase takes place or is contemplated. They always exist in gaseous form. For this reason, they have been called permanent gases. Perfect…
Symmetry difference of sets Let A and B be two sets. The symmetry difference of sets A and B is the set (A-B) ∪ (B-A) and it is denoted by A ∆ B. Then A∆B=(A-B) ∪ (B-A) = {x : x ∉ A ∩ B}. In Fig 9 shaded region represents A∆B Fig (9) Example…
Function as a correspondence Let A and B be two non-empty sets. Then a function ‘f ‘ from set A to set B is a rule or method or correspondence which associates elements of set A to elements of set B such that: Fig. 2(a) (i) all elements of set A are associated to…
Reversible and Irreversible processes A process which can be reversible i.e., operated in opposite direction from any state during the process such that the system returns to its initial state and their may be no effect on the surroundings. Thus at the end of the process both the system and…
